Help - questions on scsi_debug (a LLDD) and mid-layer.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm playing with scsi_debug (a low-level driver) of
lk2.4 and notice that scsi_debug_queuecommand(...)
defined in scsi_debug returns sometimes before the
SCSI command completes (i.e. before done(cmd) is
invoked), and sometimes after done(cmd) is invoked.

Can SCSI mid-layer really handle both cases without
any problems, and why?

I assume that before scsi_debug_queuecommand() returns
the control to mid-layer, mid-layer has no way to know
if that SCSI command has been successfully queued in
low-level driver or not, therefore it's probably an
error if the low-level driver invokes done() before
completing scsi_debug_queuecommand().  Please correct
me if I'm wrong.

Has mid-layer already added the SCSI command in a
queue somewhere inside the mid-layer before invoking
queuecommand(...) (i.e. passing control to the
low-level driver)?

Thanks,


T.
